AppSec Testing in the Real World: Stories of Success

A panel discussion that has aired initially as part of the Dark Reading Virtual Event, sponsored by Invicti:

Today’s threat landscape calls for a more proactive approach to security, with regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing of IT infrastructure as well as threat hunting by the security team or your security service provider. How do you set up a vuln scanning and pen testing regimen? What’s the best way to begin and conduct threat hunting? How do you apply the results of these practices to tighten up your defenses? Threat hunting specialists will share intel on how to practice proactive security using these processes as well as emerging technologies that support them.

Getting a Step Ahead of the Attacker with Vulnerability Scanning & Pen Testing

This panel discussion has originally appeared as part of the Dark Reading Virtual Event, sponsored by Invicti.

Agile development and continuous integration/continuous deployment have changed the game for application development practices, leading enterprises to “shift left” and build security into the software development lifecycle to catch any vulnerabilities before applications go into production. But what about those existing production applications running in the enterprise? In this webinar, you'll learn how to use modern security practices to manage the detection and remediation of vulnerabilities in those legacy applications. You’ll also get tips for how to help your dev team balance their development demands with the need to secure applications enterprise-wide.

How to Protect Your Legacy Software Applications

This democast has originally aired on SC Media.

Secure application development can be a painstaking process, but just how painful does DevSecOps actually need to be? 

Companies that are actively engaged in DevSecOps speak of multiple pain points, from struggles with asset visibility and discovery to finding ways to close every gap in their defenses. Along the way, they face an uphill battle to integrate dynamic application security testing (DAST) into their software development life cycle and maintain vulnerability testing coverage across all their application environments – and all this while constantly warding off time-wasting false positives.

Organizations are always looking for ways to ease these security pains and cut down on inefficiencies. One remedy for these ailments is Invicti’s web application security testing platform, which integrates throughout the SDLC to embed automated security testing into application development without hampering the pace of innovation.

 
This democast features a walkthrough of Invicti’s AppSec solution, with detailed commentary explaining how Invicti’s Proof-Based Scanning technology coupled with deep integration into CI/CD workflows provides a tried-and-true remedy for the biggest pain points that plague DevSecOps initiatives today.

When AppSec grows too noisy, vulnerabilities get the silent treatment to the detriment of both development and security. Join the webinar and learn how to tune out the noise and move towards an efficient DevSecOps process.

2022 AppSec Indicator: Tuning Out the AppSec Noise is All About DAST

Security teams are intensely focused on protecting their organizations, often leading to friction with developers who need to build and produce applications quickly. How can organizations speed up product releases and shorten innovation cycles while also improving security and working in tandem with development? 
To understand how successful organizations do this, we have partnered with Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), an independent IT analysis, research, and advisory organization, to develop an in-depth white paper: Automated Application Security Testing for Faster Development.   

As part of this webinar, we will present the highlights from this white paper, including: 
- The challenges of securing cloud-native applications
- The case for embedding security testing directly into developer workflows for better coverage
- Ways to turn your security team into enablers instead of blockers
- The Invicti approach to helping you continuously secure all your applications
- How automated AppSec testing saves time and money

Join this webinar to learn how organizations like yours “cover their AST with DAST” by enabling both security and development teams and proactively taking control of the security of their web apps.

Automated Application Security Testing for Faster Development

As the DevOps teams are moving forward at speed to help fast forward business growth, traditional security teams seem to struggle to keep up with a fast pace of innovation, making it unsustainable to maintain a traditional DevOps approach without involving security directly.

Having security as an integral part of development is the only practical approach to modern agile workflows. 
Join Invicti Solutions Engineer Ali Marwani, and learn:
- What is DevSecOps, and why do we need it?
- How to implement DevSecOps
- DevSecOps best practices

Transforming your organization with DevSecOps

Application security has come a long way. From automation to increased AppSec budgets, the landscape of application security has changed dramatically. Yet even businesses who think they are doing AppSec and DevSecOps well can’t be entirely confident, with organisations becoming increasingly vulnerable due to the sheer number of web assets they have - or think they have - to secure.

With it being more imperative than ever for development and security teams to gain complete visibility into all their applications — including those that are lost, forgotten, or hidden - it’s crucial that they do it in the right way.

But what does the right way look like? In episode 2 of Invicti’s Mastering Application Security series, Nick Cavalancia and Mark Townsend are here to show you. From discussing how businesses can create a DevSecOps roadmap that truly works, to diving into how teams can integrate application security into their DevOps pipelines the right way, join them to hear:

- Why many organizations struggle with gaining full visibility of what applications they need to secure 
- How to navigate the complexity of integrating security tools within short production cycles 
- How critical software issues can be identified and addressed at the appropriate stage of the SDLC
- How to inspire DevOps and DevSecOps teams to grow the right development culture that fosters an environment where AppSec can truly thrive
- And more

Debunking web application security myths

Are you covering the top AppSec threat in 2022?

Most organizations rely on APIs to fuel digital transformation, enable integrations, and increase capabilities and efficiencies. However, with sprawling web application environments that frequently change, often daily, API abuses are expected to become the #1 application threat vector in 2022 – and a major headache for security teams. 
Incorporating APIs into the overall AppSec testing strategy is now a necessity, but for many, it still presents a major technical and organizational challenge.

By attending this webinar, you will learn:
- The importance of web APIs and why they are a key attack surface for modern threat actors
- The challenges of including APIs in application security testing and ways to overcome them
- Best practices for building API scanning into your AppSec program

Join Laura Paine, Director of Product Marketing, and Mark Schembri, Solutions Engineering Manager, to learn how your organization can reduce security risks associated with web APIs.

Web API Security: Trends, Challenges, and Best Practices

Remote code execution (RCE) is a class of vulnerability that we’ve heard a lot about in the news recently. Many organizations are still feeling the aftershocks of Log4shell’s exploit of Log4j. In fact, RCE does not seem to be going away. The latest Invicti research shows a 3-4x increase in code execution findings over the past three years. RCE is severe — an attacker can exfiltrate data, steal credentials, and forge database records.
 
In this presentation, Invicti Security Distinguished Architect, Dan Murphy, showcases the latest data around RCE and delves into techniques that even the largest of organizations with thousands of web assets could use to safeguard their web applications from RCE.

The rise of RCE: Why code execution is booming and how to fortify your defenses

Are severe vulnerabilities getting any scarcer? The short answer is no.

Each year we analyze the most common web application vulnerabilities across thousands of assets and release the annual Invicti AppSec Indicator report. This year we analyzed aggregated usage data from 939 global Invicti customers who ran a whopping 23,630,985,830 security checks in 2021, which gave us a holistic view of vulnerability trends from automated scan results across regions.

Join us as we zoom in on some of the worst security flaw offenders that still plague DevSecOps teams today. We will also cover the AppSec best practices that will help us get a handle on these all-too-persistent flaws and improve security without sacrificing innovation.

In this webinar, you will learn:
- Why severe vulnerabilities aren’t getting scarcer
- How to leverage these findings with the aim of improving your AppSec program
- Tactics and initiatives to help prioritize web app security in your organization

Worrisome Vulnerability Trends in the Race to Innovation

Today, web applications are at the core of our digital experiences, from remote work and online shopping to powering critical government infrastructure. However, as web applications have grown, unfortunately so has the number of breaches. In fact, according to Forrester, web applications are the number one source of external breaches in 2022, a trend continuing from 2021. 

Whilst organizations know the importance of web app security, proven by increased spending, in pursuing innovation, security teams are constrained, and organizations are forced to prioritize security efforts. This leads to risky tradeoffs, such as only focusing on part of the attack surface, and many organizations have shifted left, at the risk of having an incomplete strategy - So the question is, is it possible to balance innovation with security?

Join episode 1 of Invicti’s Original Series, where we will discuss the application security challenges facing the modern enterprise and explain how your organization can continue to innovate whilst protecting a growing attack surface.

Panelists will:

- Explain why despite increased investment, application security remains a problem for many.
- Review common approaches and mistakes organizations make when it comes to implementing an effective application security strategy.
- Discuss how modern application security can enable security teams to leave behind incomplete security approaches and balance innovation with security during the application development lifecycle.
- And more…
